01x03 - Find F-01!

Post by bunniefuu »

Space Pilot Hagen, sir. Space

Pilot John Lee. And I'm

Barry Hercules, doc.

Commander Makara of the Imperial Alliance

hovers in an alien battlecruiser over

Starfleet Command. She has demanded the

handover of the F01. There is a time

limit of only one hour. We must keep

calm, everyone. Their objective is to

obtain the F01, not the destruction of

planet Earth. Do not let us do anything

to provoke them. First, we must find out

exactly what F01 is. General,

I will consult the computer at data

center. Do it quickly. Remember, we have

less than one hour to go.

Termoid, call Captain Orion. Captain

Orion. Captain Orion. Captain Orion.

Yes, Commander, I am here. Our

surprise attack has succeeded. Once we

have the F01 in our hands, we will be

invincible

and I will command the entire solar

system. Orion, there will be a high place

in the command for you when we succeed in

this great conquest. Commander, by your

divine guidance.

Lamia, I want to thank you for your help

and support. The repair of X b*mber is

almost completed. Now you must return to

Moon Base before the fighting starts

again. Go back. But why, Doctor?

It's bad enough I risked the lives of

these three brave pilots. I'm not

prepared to risk yours in this action.

But please, Doctor Ben, I am not afraid.

I wish to stay and continue to help you

here. Oh, I'm sorry. You're far too

valuable to me in your radar work at Moon

Base. Doctor, I'll help with the repairs

in the engine room. No, Lamia.



We never learned anything at the Academy

on this F-01. Wonder what on earth it can

be, Barry. F-01. I've never heard of it.

Could it be one of X-b*mber's weapons?One

of the Doc's little secrets that he

doesn't want us to know about yet?Sure.

It's so secret we couldn't use it. That's

how he got shot down and had to crash

land in this miserable, awful place.

Maybe we're all off base. Maybe it's not

a thing. Maybe. It could be a

person. Yeah, a person. What would the

Imperial Alliance want with a person?Not

an ordinary person. What if the F01 was

an extraordinary person, one with

incredible abilities?Abilities that could

control a solar system?What are you

talking about?Oh, hi there, Lamia.

Please, can I help you with your work?

It's OK. There isn't any need. We've

almost finished the repairs. We were just

talking about F01. What do you think the

mystery object can be?I have absolutely

no idea. Shyro thinks F01 might be

human. Personally, I think he's nuts.

Yeah. How about this hotshot?He has ESP.

Just think about it. The Imperial

Alliance could control the solar system

by using a human being with fantastic

extrasensory perception. Shyro, I guess

you've been out in space too long. If you

ask me, no human being I've ever met is

worth a whole solar system. I was

thinking more of a an alien here among

us, not a human being.

Now what's the matter with Lamia?Guess

it's something you said.

What's up, Shyro?Something I said.

What's wrong, Lamia?Why do you look so

distressed, child?Dr. Ben,

please, I want to know the truth about

myself. It's just

F01, Doctor. It refers to me, doesn't it?

Lamia, on what evidence are you basing

such an extraordinary thought?Don't be

absurd. Who or what put such an idea into

your head?Doctor, I keep feeling as

though something something is calling me

away from here. I have

told myself over and over that I can't be

F01, but each moment

I feel more uneasy. I know so little

about myself, Doctor. Please

tell me how I was brought up. Very well.

I will tell you. You must be told the

truth sooner or later, my dear. The time

has come for you to grow into a woman.

This is what I was told by Professor

Hagen before he left.

Soon after he started his work at the

Institute of Mars, a brilliant

object fell amid a meteor shower

onto the desert. It was a

spaceship.

Professor Hagen went out to investigate

it alone. All the others were too

frightened.

Inside the alien craft was a

capsule, and there, within the

capsule, a baby lay sleeping peacefully.

Beside the capsule lay Kirara, a creature

guarding the baby.

When Professor Hagen approached the

capsule, it slowly opened of its own

accord. The baby woke up

and smiled into his eyes, as if it could

communicate even at that tender age.

That baby was you,

Professor Hagen. Took you back to the

institute with him. He gave you the name

Lanir. You were brought up in

secret with Kirara as your nursemaid.

No one else knew.

The professor loved you like his own

child. He was like a real

father to you.

That is all I know about you, Lania.

Professor Hagen disappeared from the

Institute some time ago and

unfortunately has not been heard of since

then. How about my real

mother and father?I know

nothing about that. Or why you were sent

to Mars. Then I I'm actually

oh. I

can't believe it. If that story's true,

Lamia is an alien.

Let me go. Come on, stop that. Lamia,

help me. Get this creature off me.

Kirara, come here at once.

I didn't eavesdrop. Intentionally, Sir.

That which is done cannot be undone. I

have held this secret in my heart because

I did not want to cause unnecessary

distress to the poor girl or anyone else.

Do you understand?Yes, Sir. No one will

look at Lamia in the same way if she's

thought not to be a human. Understood. On

no account must you tell anyone what you

have learned today. No, Sir. You have my

word. Good. I'm glad you understand.

I am most grateful to you, Doctor.

Tell me, what can I possibly do if it

turns out?If it turns out that

F01 is me, nothing. You

cannot be. Now the matter is closed once

and for all. I assure you that F01

does not exist. Now there's very little

time left. Take your positions at once.

Yes, Doctor. Yes, Sir.



Computer Bank's negative readout on F01.

I repeat, negative readout on F01.

This is dreadful. Why do we tell them?If

we say there's no computer response, they

won't believe us. That's right. Call up

Laser m*ssile Battalion 5. Scrambled

frequency. Sound red alert. Yes, Sir.

Stand by for red alert. This is Commander

Vargas. Situation General. Computer

has no record of F01. As we don't know

what it is, we're on red alert. Stand by

missiles, but wait my order to fire.

Order understood, General. 20

seconds left. But General, we can't

attack. The risk is too great. We must

negotiate. One cannot negotiate with

reptiles. When they attack, we must be

ready to retaliate. 10

seconds left.



Your time has run out, General. Give me

your answer now, Commander. What you

seek, whatever F01 is, it's not on the

Earth. Liar. Our research

confirms that F01 is in the solar system

and on planet Earth. If you refuse to

hand it over, you will leave the

Alliance. No choice but to annihilate.

Give us 20 minutes. 10 minutes at least,

Commander. We'll search our computer

banks again. Very well. I'll grant you 10

minutes. But I warn you, if you do not

respond by then, Starfleet will be

attacked and completely destroyed by us.



X-b*mber now.

Doctor Ben, this is the Earth Defence

Forces Starfleet Command. Do you

copy?Do you copy?

I copy.

Circuit scrambled. Dr. Ben, the

Alliance will attack us in 10 minutes.

Can X b*mber take off now in 10

minutes?No, Sir, it can't be done. If

we are to attack from the moon, the only

way is with X Impulse. I don't have to

tell you what damage that would cause on

Earth. If it has to be, even at the risk

of destroying Earth Defense forces

themselves, that alien battlecruiser must

be destroyed. But General, surely there

must be a way to lure the battlecruiser

out into space. Impossible.

They are determined. We have very little

time. Hurry, Doctor, it's our last

hope. I'll do what I can here. You must

destroy them at all cost.

Evacuate Order #5 m*ssile Battalion to be

ready to launch Laser m*ssile Battalion

#5. This is Starfleet Command. Prepare

to launch target alien Alliance

battlecrews in our quadrant.

Missiles stand by to launch.

Skeletal heel movement at Earth laser

m*ssile mission. They want evidence of

our power. Ready to

fire. Lady torpedoes stand by the fire.

Lady torpedoes ready to fire.

We're too late. The m*ssile base is

destroyed.

Contact Commander Makara. Start the

command to Commander Makara.

I am willing to accept your surrender.

You have learned our power. It is no use

trying to defy the alliance. Hand over

F01 immediately. You now have 5

minutes.

Evacuate all stations now. Sound the

evacuation alarm at once. Yes, Sir.

Evacuation alarm sounding by General

Kyle's order. Evacuate all stations.

General to the shelters.

Starfleet Command are evacuating all

personnel. Shouldn't the cavalry kind of

get moving before it's too late, Sir?

Yeah. Doctor, have X-b*mber take off.

We've got to do something to help them.

Yeah, I'm sick of sitting out here

cooling my heels on this piece of old

rock.

Let's get moving.

Professor Hagen, where are you

now?Please answer me. Tell

me whether I'm F01 or not.

If I am, I cannot further endanger

the people of the Earth. Please

speak to me in my heart. Please

reach out for my thoughts, Professor.



fellas. Ready to launch.

Doctor Ben, all systems respond

affirmative. You realize the moment X

b*mber takes off from here. The Imperial

Battlecruiser will attack Starfleet

Command regardless of the time limit. In

effect, we seal their fate. And that's

our dilemma. But surely, Doctor, there's

some way we can destroy them. X Impulse

is our only hope, and that will be our

last resort. Understood. What's X Impulse?

To use it, we'll consume 90% of our

quantum power in the main shield. So if

the tactic should fail, not only will the

Earth have suffered tremendous damage,

but our ship will be crippled. There is

no room for a single error, everyone. You

must rely not merely on your Starfleet

training, but on your reflexes and

instincts. Stand by. Countdown commence.

General Kyle. Yes, Doctor X

b*mber about to launch in 30 seconds.

We'll try and attack with X impulse.

Evacuate all Starfleet personnel.

Personnel evacuating now. My prayers are

with you. However, I fully understand the

tremendous risk we're taking. And what

little chance there is of Earth surviving

X Impulse.

Commander Makara. Commander Makara, this

is X b*mber. X b*mber calling. Do not

attack Starfleet Command. Lamia, what are

you doing?Please do not attack the Earth

people. I am

F01. I am the one that

you seek. Do not attack. Lamia, stop.

StopCommander Makara, believe me. I

speak the truth. I am F01.

No,

Lamia, do you know what you're saying?Why

are you doing this?Sorry, Shiro, I had

to.

F01 is ours at last. Orion,

set course for the moon immediately.

Hyperspeed. We have found what we came

for. Commander, this is a clever trick of

General Kyle. A young girl like that can

hardly be the F01 that we seek. I

suggest that we destroy Starfleet Command

without delay. Captain Orion, obey your

orders. If this is a deception, we will

know when she's captured and

interrogated. Course, Moonbase.

Hyperspeed, Captain. By your divine

guidance, Commander.

Hey, heads up. Here they come. Commander

Makara, I tell you, Lamia is not

F01.

Let her admit to that herself under

threat of death. By what's happened?

It's moving away.

Doctor, why aren't we taking off?Steady

now. Don't be so eager to provide them

with easy target practice. We let them

believe that we're still a crippled ship.

Surprise is on our side.



Doctor. Easy.

Enemy ship still closing.

Lamia, where are you going?Come

back here. Shiro, don't let her go.

Stop her. Come back here, Lamia.

Lamia, wait. Come back.

Please. Now stop it.

Shiro, let me go. Please let me go. You

know I'm the F01. I'm the one that they

want. It's me that endangers us all.

That's crazy talk, Lamia. And you know

it. You're not F01. You're not.

Yes, I am. The Earth can regain peace if

I go with them. Please let me go.

No, I won't. You think we're going to

sacrifice you to the Alliance?You're a

part of Starfleet Command. I will not let

you risk your life for us in this way.

You mustn't go. Listen to me. I beg of

you.



ready to launch. Start main engines

launch.

Here we go. Oh, boy.

The battle cruisers launch, moving

towards us hyper speed. But we shut it

down. It's impossible. They pranked us

again. I'll see that they pay for their

lives.

Now Shyro activate X impulse

activate.

We hit it. Good sh**ting. Direction

course up. Maximum velocity.

Now we're heading on a collision course.

Come on, take her up.

Retreat. Retreat.

Very well, Starfleet Command. You may

have tricked us this time. Strengthen

your weak, pathetic defense bases,

because we shall return.

Earth has survived the initial Imperial

as*ault, but Commander Makara has

threatened to return. The mystery

of the identity of F01 has still not been

solved. Can Starfleet Command

resist a second attack?

X b*mber is escorting a convoy of

freighters through the asteroid belt

where several craft have disappeared. The

Imperial Battle Cruiser sets a trap and

lures them into the gaseous seas of

Jupiter. Is there any way out for Doctor

Ben and his crew?Don't miss the next

episode of Starfleet.

Send a message out across the

sky.

Alien Raiders just passed

Gemini.

Who will come and save us now?

Who can defend us from that

power?Starfleet,

Starfleet

Starfleet, Starfleet

Tell the people back out of

control

Send Starfleet allegiance to save our

souls

Always daring and courageous

Only they can save us Starfleet

Starfleet Starfleet
